Down to the Quantum Dot

Jülich, 7 July - Using a single molecule as a sensor, scientists in Jülich have successfully imaged electric potential fields with unrivalled precision. The ultrahigh-resolution images provide information on the distribution of charges in the electron shells of single molecules and even atoms. The 3D technique is also contact-free. The technique is relevant for diverse scientific fields including investigations into biomolecules and semiconductor materials.
